Except, any company making a deal with Cuba is automatically banned from dealing with the US.

To this date, the US even interfers in Europe regarding that: There is a famous case where a German bought Cuban Cigars from a Dane, and the FBI interfered, and seized the funds from their bank accounts.

If any company ever touches the USD, the US claims to have jurisdiction over them.

> + Cuban's live in relative poverty

The median wealth and income in Cuba is higher than most middle american countries.

Cuba is not a great country to live in, but please don’t distort the facts. That doesn’t make you any better than the North Korean propaganda that claims the US president eats babies.

Can you be more precise by what you mean when you say "making a deal"? Does flying to Cuba constitute "making a deal"? Air Canada has flown there for years and still flies to the US.
